Can I connect a car stereo at my home outled?

Question

can i connect my car stereo at home using a AC 12v converter by cutting the imput and puting it to the stereo

Answer 1

The REAL answer...



...yes it needs to be 12V but it must also push the amperage.



Any old 12VDC supply WON'T cut it. It must supply at least 2 amperes more than the rated fuse.



You will need at least a 13.8VDC 7 amp supply to do this. They can be found at Radio $hack.

Answer 2

car stereos run on 12 Volts dc



you can run the stereo with an adapter



your best bet is to get a 12v power supply from radio shack.

If you have a 12v DC/ac converter you can hook up your car stereo at home. You can also use a battery and hook up your car stereo just like in your car. the problem with it is when you run out of juice you have to charge it. I use to do it because my car was in the shop. It's good and bad.

Answer 4

You say a AC 12v converter. I hope that you mean a 12V DC power supply. Just be sure to include an inline fuse. You can get one at radio shack or some other electronic store.

Answer 5

We don't have Radio shack in UK anymore. Try Maplin for a 12v dc Output@ 5A.

Answer 6

If that is it requires, I don't see why not. Just whatever you do, don't feed it more power than it needs or it will cause a whole mess of trouble.
